2:02 am
like these continue to surface this is a syrian television report featuring gruesome footage from a damascus suburb slaughtered civilians men women teenagers and children. killing women and children in cold blood. entire families slaughtered bodies burned witnesses and the injured left in shock i didn't know who did this to me i know nothing about the whereabouts of my husband and my children my husband works for the security forces i have two boys and a girl terrorists spread among survivors seek help us get rid of these gangsters they destroyed everything we are unable to do nothing i don't know anything about my family please help us who they are those behind this massacre of yet another group of civilians in syria remains unclear now tradition in the syrian conflict
2:03 am
both sides point fingers at each other as armed groups claim the assad regime is behind the slaughter the assad army says it was on a mission to hunt down armed rebels in the affected area throughout the syrian bloodshed numerous human rights reports say civilians have been used as human shields by armed opposition groups something largely ignored by the western media waging a war of its own often eager to blame the assad government as part of their push for regime change on august thirtieth the u.n. security council is scheduled to hold a ministerial meeting on the crisis at a time when the whole world is puzzled about what to do about syria the incident in dariush or to play into the hands of those who are trying to increase support for the fight against assad and. moscow five paris has made its latest move in the political gambit over the syrian crisis french president francois hollande has called on syria's opposition to form a provisional government saying france won't hesitate to recognize it in tests are
2:04 am
still your reports of what this means for the conflict. the french president francois laundered issued a statement with several points when it comes to syria first of all he had urged different rebel groups and opposition members to come together to form a representative provisional government now he said that if and when they do this france is ready to recognize this group now we know that on the ground there are still divisions and different factions of rebel groups however on the outside we also know that there are several members of different opposition groups such as the syrian national council the muslim brotherhood among others who've already been meeting for a few months now are drawing a road map for a post assad syria and they are set to release their plans and their findings in the coming weeks and again. their future support for a government formed by the rebel groups and aside from that a lot had also said that any use of chemical weapons by the assad regime would
2:05 am
justify a direct forit intervention now this echoes what the u.s. president barack obama had said just a week ago and also along the says he's looking at to create a buffer zone within syria and this is to follow on the idea that turkey had pushed forward to manage the increasing number of refugees flowing into neighboring countries we've already seen some conflict in the neighboring lebanon on for any humanitarian buffer zone and that they're calling it would involve some sort of military operation a military involvement which they say is in order to safeguard the safety of civilians who are listening to all this rhetoric especially coming from along this does echo of his room in a sense of what his predecessor had said just a year ago with regard to syria also before that with regard to libya we see from the rhetoric and from the moves the actions of western leaders as well as their allies that it is clear that they do want to get involved in the syrian crisis one
2:06 am
way or another in one capacity or another be that a military involvement as well. washington has been has it in supporting the french president's call over a different nation of an interim government a number of officials in the obama administration have said the syrian opposition isn't ready for such a move brian becker from the antiwar answer coalition believes it's unacceptable and dangerous to grant power to those currently representing the opposition that's very odd and ironic in fact completely hypocritical to have the french government saying to the syrian opposition you form a government and we'll recognize you i mean that's just a script from the good old days when the colonial powers operated through proxies there was an opposition a big opposition to the assad government in syria that was against violence against civil war and particularly against foreign intervention they've been pushed to the side and in their places the free syrian army so-called the so-called syrian revolutionaries who are nothing really at this point other than the chosen proxies
2:07 am
of the foreign powers so it will be they those who control the monopoly of violence that is the nato powers themselves who will be the ultimate determine or of what the character is of this new so-called opposition government or what they will declare to be the legitimate government of the syrian people. coming up later the program missing migrants. some people may have left the country some of them may still be here i think the key fact was that the agency had no idea how many that were actually still in the country and how many had left the u.k. seeking ways of getting rid of illegal immigrants but it's faced with a tricky problem that it can't actually find down. and there's no fanfare opening for the republican convention as the gathering man to showcase mitt romney as a party's presidential candidate is disrupted by tropical storm isaac. just president mohamed morsi set to arrive on his first trip to china accompanied by

2:09 am
it's certainly leaning towards not only china. but on so maybe russia and also saudi arabia and the gulf morsi is catering to that area because of financial need i would think that you gyptian policy or chip gyptian actions are going to essentially align to their economic needs. and of course we'll be tracing the progress of president morsi his visit at our web site r t v dot com here's a quick look at what else we've got in store for you their. sentence unknown the u.s. marine corps says it won't publicly reveal what punishments given three marines caught on video you were in a gone dead taliban fighters plus. a shocking u.n. reports suggest the gaza strip is heading towards a humanitarian catastrophe r.t. dot com has the details. wealthy british style. that's

departments to create a hostile environment which makes it much harder to migrants to live in the u.k. illegally the government's made a lot of noise about its efforts to cut immigration but at the total seven hundred billion pound government spending budget just one point nine billion is allocated to the u.k. border agency that's just a third of one percent it's an incredibly small amount and historically underfunded and still cripplingly under-resourced the u.k. border agency is now under pressure and the latest revelations that more than one hundred fifty thousand migrants the missing could just be the tip of the iceberg that hundred fifty thousand figure came from the couch where people have applied to extend. a fuse and they go into a much bigger part and. are it's hard for different people trying to come up with different results. million sounds about what number of people are here. which. immigration lawyer tells us this the buddha agencies don't have any hope of

2:16 am
fact of the matter that this mosque these shrines could be destroyed in such a centralized location with so-called security forces standing around observing it then ostensibly supervising the destruction of these religious sites clearly in the case that the former sea level government which is now calls itself the general national council is not presiding over a lawful society in fact there presiding over a lawless society we also have to keep in mind that there's a lot of consternation about the lack of services inside the country the overall lack of security in libya and also the large scale unemployment and the economic downturn which has taken place there since the overthrow of the gadhafi government late last year and we have nothing about this travesty of justice coming from the united states or the united nations i would play such

process offers in the way of form of alternatives. recent reports say arms sales by the u.s. tripled in two thousand and eleven to a record high of over sixty six billion dollars was no other country coming anywhere close and any shafir from the task force and national and homeland security believes such huge arms supplies only threaten to make the world a more dangerous place. we have a huge military industrial complex which requires all sorts of carrier feeding but that's part of the deal frankly as we start to look at their mission and what your operations are not recommend gana stand the brutal truth is this we have an industry which is looking for new markets i mean we're talking about the worst ten times larger and it's exporting the weapons right now with the russians with that said. no one believes for a minute expanding the market is going to help make things more peaceful obviously
